My daughter and I came up with this one day and it has become a fall favorite. Mostly because fall is the only time of year that I can find Pumpkin Mousse in the deli!

1 pound of Pumpkin Mousse (I buy mine from the Coborns Deli)

1 package Keebler mini graham cracker crusts

1 small container of Cool Whip

Just fill the little graham cracker crusts with the pumpkin mousse, then top with Cool Whip. Keep any leftovers refrigerated. I know, it’s totally cheating with all of the ready made products, but so worth it!

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – It’s a wish that was weeks in the making. A little boy named Kaleb wanted a clubhouse like the one in his favorite movie, “The Sandlot.” So WCCO teamed up with Make-A-Wish Minnesota to make his dream a reality.

It’s part of Accomplish Minnesota, where we try to bring together people in need, with those who want to help.

The construction started about a month ago up on the ‘CCO Rooftop, but once the clubhouse arrived in Gaylord, the scope of the wish began to come clear.

“To see that shot of it coming over the house is pretty amazing,” said Bob Gardner.

Gardner Builders went all out in constructing Kaleb’s wish.

“We’ve got a baseball bat awning with baseball bats donated by the Minnesota Twins and St. Paul Saints,” Gardner said.

It didn’t stop there.

“You’ve got baseball handles which lock the door,” Gardner said.

Instead of a standard railing, they designed something specifically for a baseball fanatic, with cutouts in the shape of bats and baseballs. But Gardner was quick to point out, it wasn’t all their doing.

“You know a lot of these elements are things that he designed with his dad,” Gardner said.

Their ideas shone through. From a hammock beneath the clubhouse to a fireman’s pole and a tire swing made from an old Corvette tire from Kaleb’s dad, Willie.

What was still to come for Kaleb might have been even more exciting.

“With Coborn’s, prior to the wish, we actually had some in store fundraising to help enhance Kaleb’s wish with some toys and some fun posters,” said Michael Sargent, the brand manager at Kretschmar.

“We also have Patrick Renna, ‘The Great Hambino’ from ‘The Sandlot,'” Sargent said.

Not only did Kaleb get to meet the star of his favorite movie, Renna was right by his side as his wish was revealed.

Like any typical 7-year old, the first thing Kaleb did was climb to the top of his new bunk beds. Kaleb also grabbed one of the toys that filled his new clubhouse, a giant squirt gun, and soaked “The Great Hambino” along with several people in the crowd that had gathered for the wish reveal.

Once the excitement of the wish was revealed, Kaleb settled right back into being a kid and doing what he loves: playing baseball with his new friend, “The Great Hambino.”

On top of Kaleb’s wish, Kretschmar Deli, a national partner of Make-A-Wish, teamed up with Coborn’s to raise an additional $28,000 to help grant more wishes for Minnesota kids.

It happened around 9:40 p.m. Wednesday night near Highway 15 and Stearns County Road 1.

When the woman came out of the restaurant and got into her vehicle, a masked man was waiting for her.

Police Chief Jim Hughes says the man asked for money and told the woman to drive. They met up with another masked man, and the woman was assaulted before her kidnappers let her go.

“She was assaulted physically, choked unconscious,” Hughes said.

After being held captive for more than four hours, the kidnappers kicked the woman out of her car.

She ran to a Coborn’s store in Sauk Rapids where she got help.

Police later found her car abandoned, and the inside had been set on fire, possibly to destroy evidence.

“For our community and I think for the other metro communities here, it’s quite uncommon for something like this to happen,” he said. “At this point we don’t know if the suspects knew her, or if it was a random act of violence. We’re not sure at this point.”

Until they learn more, police are asking people to lock their doors when they go into a business, and to check the back seat before getting back inside.

Police aren’t saying how much money the kidnappers took or what type of weapons they had, if any.

As they search for leads, the victim is recovering physically and emotionally.

“[She’s] obviously shaken up. Any time anybody goes through something like this for that length of time, obviously they’re going to be traumatized by what happened,” Hughes said.

He says they have a number of investigators working on this case, and they’re also getting help from other jurisdictions.

If anyone has any information about what happened, they are urged to contact the Sartell Police Department at 320-251-8186.
